Explains the ancient but understudied concept of Twinned Cosmos；
Uses both Western and Indigenous source material；
Respects each Native culture as a discrete unit, rather than generalizing them as is often done in Western anthropology；

本書論文包括中國古代、卑南族、排灣族、賽夏人、侗族、景頗族、台灣漢人、布農人等不同族群的研究外，更包含了四種不同的主要探討路徑：有研究重點放在物自身，也有放在交換上，另有放在物的象徵化及物與其他分類的關係，更有以社會生活方式與心性為重點等。但本書最突出的貢獻是在於有關不同的探討路徑所再現的不同物性，以及如何透過象徵性溝通系統性質的探討來連結物性與歷史及社會經濟條件等，更涉及物與其他分類範疇連結之所以可能的物質與心理基礎。最後更強調由物切入所做的研究，對於被研究社會文化的理解上，所提供的新觀點，以凸顯物與物質文化研究在人類學知識理論發展上的獨特貢獻。

People have perennially projected their fantasies onto the North as a frozen no-man’s-land full of marauding Vikings or as the unspoiled landscape of a purer, more elemental form of life. Bernd Brunner recovers the encounters of adventurers with its dramatic vistas, fierce weather, exotic treasures, and indigenous peoples―and with the literary sagas that seemed to offer an alternate (“whiter” and “superior”) cultural origin story to those of decadent Greece/Rome and the moralistic “Semitic” Bible. The Left has idealized Scandinavian social democracy. The Right borrows from a long history of crackpot theories of Northern origins. Nordic phenotypes characterized eugenics, which in turn influenced America’s limits on immigration.
The North, Brunner argues, was as much invented as discovered. A valuable contribution to intellectual history, full of vivid documentation, Extreme North is an enlightening journey through a place that is real, but also, in fascinating and very disturbing ways, imaginary.

《金驴记》：是现存的欧洲古代神怪文学中的最重要的一部，被誉为世界文学史上第一部社会心理小说，真实地反映了二世纪罗马帝国外省的民俗风情和社会文化心态。小说描写贵族青年卢齐伊远游途中寄宿友人家中，误以魔药涂身变成一头驴后的艰辛历程，饱受磨难中的风流艳事相伴。驴子后来得食埃及女神的玫瑰花，复现人形。小说结构奇特，叙事生动，语言幽默，并插叙大量荒诞离奇的轶闻传说，其中以小爱神痴恋民间美女普苏克，以及由此引发的维纳斯大跌醋罐的故事最为脍炙人口。

This volume offers a comparative, cross-cultural history of dreams. The authors examine a wide range of texts concerning dreams, from a variety of religious contexts (from China, India, the Americas, classical Greek and Roman antiquity, early Christianity, and medieval Judaism and Islam). Taken together, these essays consitute an important first step towards a new understanding of the differences and similarities between the ways in which different cultures experience the world of dreams.

This book by Roberto Esposito - a leading Italian political philosopher - is a highly original exploration of the relationship between human bodies and societies. The original function of law, even before it was codified, was to preserve peaceful cohabitation between people who were exposed to the risk of destructive conflict. Just as the human body's immune system protects the organism from deadly incursions by viruses and other threats, law also ensures the survival of the community in a life-threatening situation. It protects and prolongs life. But the function of law as a form of immunization points to a more disturbing consideration. Like the individual body, the collective body can be immunized from the perceived danger only by allowing a little of what threatens it to enter its protective boundaries. This means that in order to escape the clutches of death, life is forced to incorporate within itself the lethal principle. Starting from this reflection on the nature of immunization, Esposito offers a wide-ranging analysis of contemporary biopolitics. Never more than at present has the demand for immunization come to characterize all aspects of our existence. The more we feel at risk of being infiltrated and infected by foreign elements, the more the life of the individual and society closes off within its protective boundaries, forcing us to choose between a self-destructive outcome and a more radical alternative based on a new conception of community.

The poems in The Sunflower Cast A Spell To Save Us From The Void read like dispatches from the dream world, with Jackie Wang acting as our trusted comrade reporting across time and space. By sharing her personal index of dreams with its scenes of solidarity and resilience, interpersonal conflict and outlaw jouissance, Wang embodies historical trauma and communal memory. Here, the all-too-familiar interplay between crisis and resistance becomes first distorted, then clarified and refreshed. With a light touch and invigorating sense of humor, Wang illustrates the social dimension of dreams and their ability to inform and reshape the dreamer's waking world with renewed energy and insight.

为了逃避来自丈夫、家庭、社会和人群的暴力，她决定变成一棵树
在英惠的丈夫郑先生的眼中，“病”前的英惠，是个再普通不过的女子：不高不矮的个头、不长不短的头发，相貌平平，着装一般，温顺、平淡、文静。正如他所希望的那样，英惠完美地扮演了平凡妻子的角色——料理家务，伺候丈夫，就像千千万万的传统妇女一样。
然而，一场噩梦之后，妻子却突然开始拒绝吃肉，拒绝为家人准备荤菜，甚至到最后，她开始拒绝自己的“人类”身份，把自己当成了一株植物，一株只需要阳光和水，谢绝任何食物和交流的植物。而随着她被动的反叛以越来越极端和可怕的形式表现出来，丑闻、虐待和疏远开始让她螺旋进入她的幻想空间。在精神和身体的完全蜕变中，她现在危险的努力将使英惠——不可能的、狂喜的、悲剧性的——远离她曾经为人所知的自我。
《素食者》以一种抒情却又撕裂的风格，将柔情和恐怖微妙地融为一体。揭示出强烈反抗对女主人公和她身边所有人的冲击。这本凝练、精美而又令人不安的书将长久萦绕于人心，甚至潜入读者的梦中。

Marginalia are a variety of writings and symbols written by readers in book margins. This study focuses on marginalia and explores the reading practices and the scholarly culture of late Imperial China. Beginning in the late Ming and early Qing, more scholars devoted themselves to reading and collating ancient texts.
They developed the habit of writing marginalia while reading, of transcribing other readers’ marginalia, and of printing marginalia, all of which formed a particular scholarly culture. This book explores how this culture developed, gained momentum, and shaped the styles, lives, thoughts, and mind states of scholars in late Imperial China.

Humans have always been interested in their origins, but historians have been reluctant to write about the long stretches of time before the invention of writing. In fact, the deep past was left out of most historical writing almost as soon as it was discovered. This breakthrough book, as important for readers interested in the present as in the past,brings science into history to offer a dazzling new vision of humanity across time. Team-written by leading experts in a variety of fields, it maps events, cultures, and eras across millions of years to present a new scale for understanding the human body, energy and ecosystems, language, food, kinship, migration, and more. Combining cutting-edge social and evolutionary theory with the latest discoveries about human genes, brains, and material culture, "Deep History" invites scholars and general readers alike to explore the dynamic of connectedness that spans all of human history. With Timothy Earle, Gillian Feeley-Harnik, Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, Clive Gamble, April McMahon, John C. Mitani, Hendrik Poinar, Mary C. Stiner, and Thomas R. Trautmann.

This volume sheds new light on the matter of religious mountain culture in China – a theme of great relevance to the Chinese civilization. Already during the Chinese antiquity, mountains had specific ritual functions. This may be seen as a precursor to the importance mountains gained when in medieval China Buddhism and Daoism emerged as dominant religions. Adepts of both religions often went into retreat on mountains to practice spirituality, and as a result monastic communities often formed on mountains. In the further course, certain mountains began to attract pilgrims, since they were associated with famous practitioners who had lived there, or since they were seen as the seat of particular Buddhist or Daoist deities. As it would be impossible to cover this wide field in total, the present volume is designed to offer specialized studies of selected segments. Contributing scholars include Bart Dessein, Susan Andrews, Huang Chi-chiang, Timothy Wai Keung Chan, Thomas Jülch, Stephen Eskildsen, Jan de Meyer, and Louis Komjathy.

In this classic work, Alasdair MacIntyre examines the historical and conceptual roots of the idea of virtue, diagnoses the reasons for its absence in personal and public life, and offers a tentative proposal for its recovery. While the individual chapters are wide-ranging, once pieced together they comprise a penetrating and focused argument about the price of modernity. In the Third Edition prologue, MacIntyre revisits the central theses of the book and concludes that although he has learned a great deal and has supplemented and refined his theses and arguments in other works, he has "as yet found no reason for abandoning the major contentions" of this book. He remains "committed to the thesis that it is only from the standpoint of a very different tradition, one whose beliefs and presuppositions were articulated in their classical form by Aristotle, that we can understand both the genesis and the predicament of moral modernity."

本书主要考察的是金元时代，处于北方少数民族统治之下的汉族知识界的整体氛围与环境。宋金元三朝政权的更迭以及北方少数民族接受儒学的速度都导致了华北士人群体的仕途变得格外坎坷。在多种异质文化相碰撞时，一直抱有优越感的汉族知识分子必须要在新的形式下调整心态，重整目标，融入社会。与此同时，为了稳固统治，笼络知识分子以维持政权，异族统治者也面临着一项将儒士招为己用的艰巨任务。然而，只要统治者没有放弃科举晋升之路，知识分子总归会对考取功名保有厚望并因此而依附于朝廷，社会也会因此趋于稳定。
本书具体考察了这个时段华北的科举情况，对当时北方士人的仕途做出了总结，即在南方士人层作为南方社会领导层的地方形成的同时，北方则形成了其独有的“另一种士人层”。

《陆游的乡村世界》一书试图利用陆游的诗篇为主要资料，来展示南宋时期浙东山阴、会稽地区的乡村社会。除引言与结论外，全书共分六章，侧重于历史叙述，主要介绍三方面内容：（1）浙东乡村一个中上水平乡居寓公的生活范本，（2）关于士人在乡村的社会角色的某些侧面，（3）由陆游所感知与描述的当时农村基层社会的一些基本生活场景。本书的写作在恪守学术规范、努力从深入观察生活的细节中发现更多历史真相的同时，尽可能用平易的语言和相对全面的知识，来满足更多读者的需求。

【内容简介】
在许多中世纪史学家和政治思想史家的现代性叙事中，意大利城市公社凭借其自下而上的合作方式、对君主制的脱离、制度上的创新，以及带世俗气质的文化，堪称世界迈向近现代的踏脚石之一。但在作者看来，这种诠释缺乏对细节的充分思考，犯了一项根本性错误，即对历史的目的论式的解读。
作者选择米兰、比萨、罗马作为个案研究，考察了在11世纪和12世纪意大利王国的解体过程中，城市公社这种中世纪欧洲最早的非君主制政体之一是如何产生的。作者试图表明，这些城市的精英并没有意识到自己正在创造一种全新的东西，而是在“梦游”中进入了一个新世界。
可以说，本书从根本上改变了我们对中世纪最重要的政治和文化创新之一的理解。

From the fourteenth through the nineteenth centuries Japanese monks created hundreds of maps to construct and locate their place in a Buddhist world. This expansively illustrated volume is the first to explore the largely unknown archive of Japanese Buddhist world maps and analyze their production, reproduction, and reception. In examining these fascinating sources of visual and material culture, author D. Max Moerman argues for an alternative history of Japanese Buddhism—one that compels us to recognize the role of the Buddhist geographic imaginary in a culture that encompassed multiple cartographic and cosmological world views.
The contents and contexts of Japanese Buddhist world maps reveal the ambivalent and shifting position of Japan in the Buddhist world, its encounter and negotiation with foreign ideas and technologies, and the possibilities for a global history of Buddhism and science. Moerman’s visual and intellectual history traces the multiple trajectories of Japanese Buddhist world maps, beginning with the earliest extant Japanese map of the world: a painting by a fourteenth-century Japanese monk charting the cosmology and geography of India and Central Asia based on an account written by a seventh-century Chinese pilgrim-monk. He goes on to discuss the cartographic inclusion and marginal position of Japan, the culture of the copy and the power of replication in Japanese Buddhism, and the transcultural processes of engagement and response to new visions of the world produced by Iberian Christians, Chinese Buddhists, and the Japanese maritime trade. Later chapters explore the transformations in the media and messages of Buddhist cartography in the age of print culture and in intellectual debates during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries over cosmology and epistemology and the polemics of Buddhist science.
The Japanese Buddhist World Map offers a wholly innovative picture of Japanese Buddhism that acknowledges the possibility of multiple and heterogeneous modernities and alternative visions of Japan and the world.

Miguel Tamen's concern is to show how inanimate objects take on life through their interpretation - notably, in our own culture, as they are collected and housed in museums. It is his claim that an object becomes interpretable only in the context of a "society of friends." Thus, Tamen suggests, our inveterate tendency as human beings to interpret the phenomenal world gives objects not only a life but also a society. As his work unfolds, "friends" also takes on a legal sense, meaning advocates, introduced to advance the argument that the social life of interpreted and interpretable objects engenders a related web of social obligations. Learned and witty, with much to teach art historians, environmentalists, anthropologists, curators, and literary critics, his book utterly reorients our understanding of how we make sense of our world.
